Cardinal George Pell and other senior officials failed
to exercise proper care for children in a Melbourne parish by not acting
on information of sexual misconduct by a paedophile priest, according
to final submissions to the royal commission into child abuse.
In her submissions to the Royal Commission into
Institutional Responses to Child Abuse, Counsel Assisting Gail Furness
SC also stated she believed the evidence of a number of witnesses in the
Ballarat and Melbourne dioceses instead of Cardinal Pell's in relation
to the Cardinal being told by children and adults of inappropriate
clerical conduct towards children in the 1970s and 1980s.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-10-31/pell-failed-to-care-for-young-abuse-victims-commission-told/7980336
